Questions about the board and moving

So I checked out the Buzz and it’s gone…capooey.

What’s the long story of its demise?

The short story is that X sold the ROD board to “Oz”
and OZ, who also ‘owned’ the Buzz-board, simply…blew it up.
Without giving anyone notice. Just zapped it, and left
this group without their favorite board.

Simply unethical behavior by Oz. No other word for it.

And now apparently the link to the Buzz board leads to — the ROD board.

I’m still kinda speechless.

He had every ‘right’ to blow up the board, but just because
you have the right to do something, doesn’t mean its the right thing to do.
He should have given people notice. There’s no justification or defense
for doing it the way he did it. It was low-down.

New here and don’t want to get in the middle of anything. But there was a board called the Buzz – I’m guessing – and it got shut down while this board still existed and this site existed before the Buzz? And the moderators here were also moderators on the Buzz? Seems confusing. If this board existed before, why not just put your energy toward it? It sounds like this site was allowed to go dormant so that the other one could replace it? Am I the only one confused?

Oh – my bad. I thought I read that here in this thread along with some stuff about a moderator here being banned from the Buzz before it was unceremoniously shut down. Seemed like the place for that question. I’ll look for the board you mentioned. I hadn’t seen it before. Though I will agree – this board doesn’t seem like the right place for that stuff. By “put it on hold just for a little bit” do you mean that the question would be ok here at a later date? Please excuse the confusion. By the thread title this seemed to me to be more about where the members have been as they were “Wandering Lost”. Seemed like an interesting subject so I wanted to know more.

really is no way to defend that.

I agree.

First my link didn’t connect to anywhere, then it sent me to ROD.
I even posted a post there with the title, “I’m a board orphan!”

Just up and left me hanging… Noyce.
